An occurrence connected with the Young Mems Christian association in New York city has perhaps not attracted the attention it de- serves. The association conducts Young Mems institute on the Bowery. This insti- tute has a library, reading room, loung- ing room. gymnasium, baths and class rooms where instruction is given in arithmetic, bookkeeping, penmanship, free-hand and mechanical drawing and vocal music. Among recent applicants for admission was a Mir. Payne, who is a native of Barbadoes, but he has light skin. He is a member of St. Philips Protestant Episcopal church, and has good reputation. His application was rejected. Cleveland H. Dodge, the president of the institute, thus explains the matter: ssOur work hasn't had long enough start to warrant our risking anything in social exper- iments. If we had better grip on the young men. if more of them were church members and Christians, we might admit half dozen negroes with impunity. But we have to do things on a reasonable, cautious basis or we may lose the fruits of what we have done al ready Admitting colored men would benefit only few individuals. It would probably cost us a much greater loss in one year than we could make up from the colored men in ten years" This view was endorsed by w. W. Hoppin, jr., who has just resigned the presidency ot the Young Mems Christian association after a long term of service.
 This performance will please some of the reconstructed southerners, who have been much blamed for trying to keep the negro Gin his place." Is practical Christianity in New York city exclusive?

gland under the name of poivrette, or pep perette, for the purpose of increasing the weight and bulk of pepper. He had much difficulty in ascertaining the exact nature of this compound, which is advertised in circu- lars sent from Italy to English pepper mer- chants. It seems to consist of some kind of ground fruit-stones or nut-shells, but ground olive-stones seem to produce substance most like it. The price of this rubbish is one penny pound, or less than one-twelfth the price of pepper.
 There are some advantages to be gained by living in Nantucket, Massachusetts, by those who like the flowing bowl. Article of the regulations governing the police force of that place reads: 'FIt shall be the duty of the po- lice to arrest any person found in an into1i- cated condition in any of the streets or lanes of the town, and if he or she offers no resist ance said person may be assisted home; if that is too far away said person may be as sisted away from the most thronged streets and told to go home three times, and if such person refuses to go home he or she shall be locked up and treated as provided in rule G." Rule is: "Any person found as hereinbefore provided, who is noisy or disorderly, shall be arrested and locked up (and discharged as soon as sober) three consecutive times, after which complaint shall be made and prose cuted.n

TIME TO WAKE UP.

It does not seem to do much good to call the attention of the people of this country to the opportunities for profitable trade which exist in Central and South America, but it does no harm to occasionally put some of the facts of the situation before the pub lie.
 England and Germany have firm hold on trade in these countries, and it will be diff ficult matter to weaken it, even if there is ever enterprise enough in this country to at tempt the task. But Consul General Hanna, located at Buenos Ayres, tells the State de- partment how so mething can be done. The great number of English steamships are lib erally paid for the mail service they render, as are the French, Italian and German lines. The Argentine government is willing, it is understood, to bestow 8 subvention of one hundred thousand dollars for twelve trips per year between New York and Buenos Ayres upon the United States and Brazil Steamship company The difficulty, there fore, is not in the disposition of that govern ment. Consul General Hanna says that what is wanted is a regular, vigorous, trust worthy postal service, and frequent ships, coming and going at fixed, certain intervals" " These are conditions precedent. The ques- tion is put thus: F'Do we want to share in the benefit of this commerce, or shall we passsvely let others have that which is right fully our own?"
 A great many of the people of this coun- try who would like to see an increase in our trade with Central and South America do not believe in following the example of some of the great European governments in 'Fsub- sidizing" steamship lines. But whatever opinion may be held concerning this, no one who will pay even slight attention to the sit uation can fail to perceive the vast opportu- nifty for naturally extending the commerce of this country southYard. If it can be done better and more proitably without subsidies the government or the business community should find it out and make the fact known But something should be done even if it costs little. There is no profit in waiting

MariOry,S Dream.

Written by Alice B. Twtchell, 12 years oldl
 Little Marjery Sampson sat on the door step of her mothers pleasant cottage home, holding in her lap cunning little black kitten.
 Mariory was a pretty little girl of ten years, with golden brown ourls clustering around her head and shoulders.
 She had merry, laughing, brown eyes, little nose which slightly turned up, and tiny rosebud mouth.
 Marjory's father had been fatally wounded in the war when she was but four years old,
 He had left Marjory and her mother the lovely cottage in which they were living; and his pension coming to them yearly was quite enough for them to make home and life as comfortable and cosy as could, or need be.
 Mrs. Sampson never had very good health, and she was daily growing more and more fragile.
 Marjory would often ask her mother to have the doctor; but her reply was only and always, 'My dear child, I am in the hands of our Heavenly Father, he is more than any physician" Marjory was rather s thoughtless child she did not think of all the little things she could do to save her mother steps, and in tta5 way be saving her health. Mrs. Sampson was always ready to wait | an Marjory, and Marjory was always willing l to have her.
 This morning as she sat on the doorste ps fondling Topsy, her pet kitten, she was thinking of her mother, who had not seemed as well as usual that morning. l When Marjory got on one of her thinking

turns,' as her mother playfully termed it, she always went out to the barn 10 think it out on the hay. So she got up, put Topsy under her arm, and retired to the barn.
 Once comfortably settled in the hay al- most before she knew it she was in dream land.
 She had not been asleep long before she heard a shrill small voice at her elbow say My dear, I think you are in trouble about your mother, and if you will allow me shall be happy to assist you"
 Marjory sat up, rubbed her eyes and gazed around her. There by her side stood fun ny little old man about six inches tall, with little high-pointed hat set back on his head. He had on pair of queer looking trousers, very full and bagging at the knees in way very laughable.
 A little vest of green and and red jacket completed his outfit.
 In his hand he held wand, such as you read about in "Fairy Tales.' Did you speak sir?" asked Marjory respectfully.
 The little man answered in the affirmative and repeated what he had said
 'Yes, "said Marjorv,''I am in trouble about mama, and should be very glad to have you help me, if you think you can."
 "Do you ever save your mother any steps?" askedsthe little man abruptly.
 Marjory hung her head and he gave her look of stern displeasure.
 "WeH," continued he, looking directly at her with his piercing black eyes, "do you ever run upstairs and get things for her, in stead of having her get them herself?'
 Marjory answered in the negative.
 .af don't wonder she is sick,'' cried the little man. The ''idea of her waiting on you fairly makes me angry; but don't look so frightened, my dear child; you are young yet and did not know any better. If you will hereafter do as I tell you and put one drop of this in her tea every time she drinks it, think we can make her well and hearty"
 As he spoke he placed in Marjory's hand tiny bottle, and with many injunctions to be very careful of it he left her.
 The dinner bell ringing at this time awak- ened Marjory, who got up and looked for the queer little man and the bottle he had given her. Both had disappeared, but in her hand was an empty nutshell that some squirrel had dropped while running along the beams overhead.
 Marjory walked soberly into the house.
 The rest of the day was spent by her in doing all she could to relieve her mother ,and in many ways she succeeded.
 It was happy head that lay on Marjory' s pillow that night, for she looked back upon the day as 'well spent"
 Marjory grew up to be a beautiful young lady, and Mrs. Sampson, through careful and tender nursing on Marjory's part, became healthy and strong.
 Mrs. Sampson has often wondered what caused the change in Marjory, although she has never said anything to her about it, and Marjory has never yet told her mother about her wonderful dream.

 Chauncey M Depew thinks that the Inter- State Commerce bill, if properly enforced, will be productive of good all around. And yet MT. Depew can't see any good way to heat cars by steam. Perhaps if there were law concerning the matter, and that law were properly enforced, he might.

So certainly fatal. The Judgment of one of the
club members that "seam Is the coming
heat" seems indeed TO he well founded. The
moro the problem Is considered the less de-
pendcnce can be placed on any method Of heat
ing which calls for fire near the cars. Tho
Chief difficulty Of steam heating is associated
with the making and rcmaling Of trains en-
route, and the necessity Of detaching the en-
ginc sometimes for considerable periods. But
it seems possible partly to meet this difficulty
by keeping an engine at the principal stations
expressly TO warm the cars or by connecting
them with stationary boiler as the Boston and
Albany Railroad does. Enough is known,
however, to justify the conclusion that thcro
